Richmond Bachelder '50 was rushed to Stillman Infirmary early this morning after emergency treatment at the Cambridge City Hospital. In addition to contusions of the head, mouth, and neck and a cerebral concussion, Bachelder had a knife would running from above his right eye through his ear and into the back of his neck...
...campaigning is rough. Johannesburg's Afrikaans Nationalist newspaper Die Transvaler published a cartoon of a panga knife labeled "Mau Mau" piercing a black cloud and hanging over a white family, with a caption: "Vote Nationalist to avert this."

It seems that the nobleman and the gypsy are Siamese twins. Though severed by surgery, they are still tied to each other by a strange spiritual bond. Before long, the twins join forces against the tyrant who finds himself seeing double. Additional complications set in when twin No. 1 (the gypsy) develops...
